The Foodable Network’s “On Foodable Side Dish” is a WebTV show that takes viewers inside the restaurant business in different cities through the eyes of local pros. Hosted by Foodable Stars, “Side Dish” hones in on news and trends from all corners of the world — from London to Los Angeles, and from Ireland to New York.

In this 2015 compilation video, brought to you by the Foodable Network, we bring viewers back into some of the most compelling stories from around the world this year. We kick things off in a London street food market with The Rib Man, a butcher-turned-vendor who prevailed his passion for meat despite an unfortunate hiccup; then transport to an underground supper club in San Francisco run by an aspiring-filmmaker-turned-foraging-chef; and then head to New York City’s Hakkasan, where we get an up-close look at how Rory MacDonald, the restaurant’s executive pastry chef, continues to wow diners with desserts after a Cantonese meal.

The way it works

Our Foodable Top 25 restaurant rankings are not hand-selected or chosen by an editor. These lists are based off of unstructured data from Foodable Labs, which tracks over 171K restaurants and brands, and calculates data based on the mass social audience across multiple markets and countries. The Foodable Top 25 drills down into the local-social audience, or geo-located social actions, in each respective city or market we cover. We seek the real social impact of what people think about the experience of your restaurant at the local level.
